RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

I may not be available on 18/5.

Please read our local rule for F3F that defined at the begining of this year:

1.2 Cancellation of races

In case of poor weather forecast, such as rain, fog, or no wind (below scale 3), the race should be cancelled. There will be no make-up race for the cancelled race. The decision to cancel the race is based on majority votes and the final decision must be announced by the designated CD of the day. As weather permitted, cancellation should be announced as earlier as possible, say one day in advance. However, CD would have the sole discretion to announce it on site or not.

Announcement will be availibe as early as possible, depending on the weather forecast.

Pong,

We're not talking about cancellation of race due to bad weather.
It's reschedulation of a race.

However, since you are the CD of match-5.
Whatever you say! My Lord.

Hi Mak,

When we determining the local house rule at the begining of this league, we agreed that once the date is fixed, not more postponement. So happens that the mother's day is fallen in this month, we agreed that the race would be one week in advance.

Of course, if all of the usuasl players agree to reschedule or no one object, it is no harm to do so. However, one of our pilots said that he would not be available. Thus, no postponement, as it is unfair to him.

I've no alternative !!
(Please note that I've waited for a week to make the decision, until someone said he is unavailable)

Hence, the race is to be held on this Sunday, unless the weather force us to a cancellation. Venue of the race is yet to determine.

Weather forecasts from HKO and Windguru suggest southerly wind on Sunday. the race would very likely, to be held at Hung Fa Shan. I'll go to there on 208-05-01 to see the suitability. Anyone would go with me??



P.S. Stanley, please type some chinese to tell other pilots, us I am already drunk at this point of time.

IC

Ignore me if other guys would like to hold the race on dates other than 4 May.

AH PONG MUST BE A GOOD CD I GRANT GOOD WIND FOR YOU

天文臺報明天二級細風,細到無風向預測！
Windguru 報約三米秒南至東南風,間中出太陽。
五月就冇左 Delta P 指數作分柝！

Fei Ngo Shan 南位有樹，難landing. 加上有霧的機會大。

紅花山南位車到,熱氣流強。值得一試！
各路英雄,意見如何？？

各路英雄接近電波站一整天

小心所有人不舉耶

Wind God唔比風我地玩仲要咒我地不舉，好似有失大神之風喎！
唔緊要啦！明日Sun God應該會照顧我地，有強勁的熱氣流玩過痛快！

我估計如果明日無雨，在紅花嶺應該有足夠的風力和熱氣流飛F3F，一於上紅花嶺啦！

Windguru for Robin's nest

http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=114809

8am : 6km/h SE
11am: 7km/h S
14pm: 10km/h S
17pm: 9km/h S

Estimating very week S forces Will be very thermic type f3f if Sun God there

"Solor" planes like Viking, Demo, Acacia will all be competitive

Also can anyone share the landing conditions for Robin's nest tomorrow Is it similar to NW slope we experienced last year

Perhaps using some reference such as "similar to Lobster but more easy" or "similar to FNS 2/F" etc ... just want an idea of the degree of landing challenges

Ah Wing, 未飛就諗定Landing？豁出去啦

獨自在山坡 高處未算高
命運在冷笑 暗示前無路
浮雲遊身邊 發出警告 我高視闊步

須知此山頭 猛虎滿佈
膽小非英雄 決不願停步
冷眼對血路 寂寞是命途 明月映山崗 倍覺孤高

紅花嶺南位降落比上次西北位
容易得多。降落方法主要是尋低，向上爬升減速，再則風降落。這

Confirmed at HFL?

Windguru says south, HKO says easterly.
Anyway, the race to be held at HFS, as there has both direction sites
C U later.

Ah Pong CD, 豁出紅花嶺 together

今日紅花嶺一戰真是有淚亦有汗！
有淚者傷機也，阿邦、大楊又要忙一段時間啦！
有汗者今日在猛烈太陽下比賽，個個都汗流夾背，灑到面紅耳熱！

由於早上有霧加上第一次在紅花嶺東位比賽，場地setup需時，比賽大約在下午12時後才開始，初時風速有5米秒，到下午2時後風力已跌到3米以下，所以比賽只舉行了4個回合。由於陽光太猛烈和浩熱，一眾機友在3時15分許已收隊離開。以下是今日比賽賽果：

冠軍： Stanley
亞軍： 阿麥
季軍： Donny
速男: Stanley

恭喜！恭喜！
